According to park legends, deep underground is something 'strange and horrible' - a monster buried deep underground for over two million years - the Nemesis.

The new ride, described as 'a
psychologically and physically thrilling experience', revisits this back-story and explores the monster's lair, filling in more details about the beast which inspired the famous rollercoaster.

Spokeswoman Katherine Duckworth said:
'Nemesis Sub-Terra is by far the most terrifying of our attractions to
date and we really wanted to test the limits of the British public to
see if they could cope with what it has in store.

'When creating the illusion inside
the lift we considered some our most common fears including heights,
darkness and claustrophobia that are also a core part of the new
attraction.

'The reactions of the public were
fascinating and we can’t wait to see what happens when people come and
experience the new attraction for the first time.'
